Can You Fishtail in the Ocean?

As a big part of the sea trial evolution, the ship performed a series of rudder checks, mostly to make sure everything still functioned properly after months in the shipyard, but also because its cool to try and make the flight deck skim the surface of the water.

The flight deck leans off to port as the left rudder check begins.
















The sea churns as the IKE bangs a hard right.

















Swinging up and out of the right rudder check.
